Tariff Protest

By | Customs & Trade Updates, Washington Newsline | No Comments

MEMBER MEMORANDUM

Dear Members:

As you are no doubt aware, there is a proposed 10 percent increase in duty rates on many of your products.  We strongly urge you to ask management and all of your employees to send a note as soon as possible protesting the increase.

Employee / individual notes should mention the product that is affected (for example, handbags, or luggage, or rubber gloves, etc.) and state how the increase will likely result in increased costs to the American consumer and possibly the loss of jobs.

The note should be sent through the website, www.regulations.gov and then enter docket number USTR-2018-0026.  The website prefers comments to be entered as a Microsoft Word document (.doc) or as a .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) file.  If the comments are sent as an attachment, the Comment field should just state “See attached”.   Sample messages are attached.

Please let us know how many employees have agreed to send messages.
If you wish to testify, you must enter your message on the website by Friday, July 27, 2018, requesting the opportunity to testify at the public hearing, which is scheduled for August 20th-23rd, AND also file a summary of expected testimony at the hearing.
We recommend that the testimony focus on (1) the impact of the proposed tariffs on your business and its employees (and, if you wish, the industry as a whole and, ultimately, U.S. consumers; (2) about the difficulties in adjusting supply chains; and (3) the lack of impact on our nation’s security.

As with comments, requests to appear at the hearings should also be sent through the website, www.regulations.gov and then enter docket number USTR-2018-0026.  The website prefers comments to be entered as a Microsoft Word document (.doc) or as a .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) file.

Thank you.

USTR Proposes An Additional 10 Percent Ad Valorem Duty On Products Of China

July 11, 2018

The U.S. Trade Representative is requesting comments and providing notice of a public hearing on its proposal for an additional 10 percent tariff on approximately $200 billion worth of imports. Anyone wishing to testify for or against the inclusion of an item on the list must file by July 27, with written comments due by August 17. The USTR will hold hearings on August 20-23 and a decision on tariffs should be made sometime after August 30.

The USTR notice, posted after close of business July 10, indicates that the tariffs are being proposed because China has not acquiesced to U.S. demands after initial Section 301 tariffs set at 25 percent on $34 billion in Chinese goods.  Full details are in the notice, which lists the proposed targets by 8-digit subheadings of the HTSUS, including food, chemicals, pesticides, minerals, fabrics, construction materials, handbags, luggage, car parts, appliances, machines, televisions, items made from steel and aluminum, batteries, semiconductor assemblies, furniture and more.

Gemini shippers group joined numerous associations in signing the attached letter supporting the Corker bill (S. 3013), which would require the President to submit to Congress any proposal to raise tariffs in the interest of national security under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.  More than 270 national associations and state and local chambers of commerce signed onto the letter.

USA Today has an article about the letter which was just posted online.

U.S. – China Trade Tariff Update

By | Customs & Trade Updates, Washington Newsline | No Comments

 

June 19, 2018

After President Trump directed the additional Section 301 tariffs that will go into effect on July 6th, China announced its decision to implement 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion in U.S. imports,

In response to China’s actions, the President has directed the United States Trade Representative to identify $200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs at a rate of 10 percent.

Per the White House statement, once the legal process is complete,

“these tariffs will go into effect if China refuses to change its practices, and also if it insists on going forward with the new tariffs that it has recently announced. If China increases its tariffs yet again, we will meet that action by pursuing additional tariffs on another $200 billion of goods.”

We will continue to monitor and provide you with updates as matters evolve.

By | Customs & Trade Updates, Washington Newsline | No Comments

USITC Begins Investigation Concerning Possible Modification to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences

Pursuant to a request from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is seeking input for a newly initiated investigation concerning possible modifications to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).  The following are the relevant dates:

  • June 4, 2018: Deadline for filing requests to appear at the public hearing.
  • June 7, 2018: Deadline for filing pre-hearing briefs and statements.
  • June 14, 2018: Public hearing.
  • June 21, 2018: Deadline for filing post-hearing briefs and statements.
  • June 21, 2018: Deadline for filing all other written submissions.
  • September 7, 2018: Transmittal of Commission report to the USTR.

The USITC is to provide advice, and requests input, as to the probable economic effect of various scenarios, as detailed below:

  1. On U.S. imports, on U.S. industries producing like or directly competitive articles, and on U.S. consumers of the addition of the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheadings to the list of GSP-eligible products:

For all GSP beneficiary developing countries:

  • 0808.30.40 (Pears, fresh, if entered during the period from July 1 through the following March 31, inclusive)
  • 0814.00.80 (Peel of citrus fruit, excl. orange or citron and peel, nesi, of melon, fresh, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved)
  • 1207.29.00 (Cotton seeds, whether or not broken, other than seed for sowing),
  • 1512.11.00 (Sunflower-seed or safflower oil, crude, and their fractions, whether or not refined, not chemically modified),
  • 2008.99.05 (Apples, otherwise prepared or preserved, nesi),
  • 2918.99.05 (p-Anisic acid; clofibrate and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid),
  • 2918.99.43 (Aromatic carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halide, etc deriv described in add US note 3 to sect VI, nesoi),
  • 2918.99.47 (Other aromatic carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halide, etc deriv (excluding goods in add US note 3 to sec VI)),
  • 4010.33.30 (Transmission V-belts of vulcanized rubber, V-ribbed, circumference exceeding 180 cm but not exceeding 240 cm, combined with textile materials).
  1. On total U.S. imports, on U.S. industries producing like or directly competitive articles, and on U.S. consumers of the removal from eligibility of two HTS subheadings for certain GSP countries.

The removals in consideration are:

2009.89.6011 and 2009.89.6019 (Cherry juice – Part of 2009.89.60 “Juice of any other single fruit, nesoi”) from Turkey,

3920.51.50 (Nonadhesive plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, noncellular, not combined with other materials, of polymethyl methacrylate, not flexible) from Indonesia and Thailand.

  1. On whether any industry in the United States is likely to be adversely affected by competitive need limitation waivers for certain countries and advice as to the probable economic effect on total U.S. imports, as well as on consumers, of the requested waivers. The USITC will also provide advice as to whether a like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States in any of the preceding three calendar years for these articles. Competitive need limitations represent the maximum import level of a product that is eligible for duty-free treatment under the GSP. Once the limit is reached, trade is considered competitive, benefits are no longer needed, and imports of the article become ineligible for GSP treatment, unless a waiver is granted.  With respect to the competitive need limit in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(I) of the 1974 Act, the USITC, as requested, will use the dollar value limit of $180 million. The HTS subheadings in consideration are:
  • 0410.00.00 (Edible products of animal origin, nesi) from Indonesia,
  • 2836.91.00 (Lithium carbonates) from Argentina,
  • 3301.13.00 (Essential oils of lemon) from Argentina,
  • 6802.99.00 (Monumental or building stone & arts. thereof, nesoi, further worked than simply cut/sawn, nesoi) from Brazil),
  • 7202.50.00 (Ferrosilicon chromium) from Kazakhstan.
  1. On U.S. imports, on U.S. industries producing like or directly competitive articles, and on U.S. consumers of the redesignation for certain countries of the following HTS subheadings:
  • 2007.99.48 (Apple, quince and pear pastes and purees, being cooked preparations) from Argentina,
  • 2306.30.00 (Oilcake and other solid residues, resulting from the extraction of vegetable fats or oils, of sunflower seeds) from Argentina,
  • 2841.90.20 (Ammonium perrhenate) from Kazakhstan,
  • 2909.50.40 (Odoriferous or flavoring compounds of ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols & their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, nitrosated derivatives) from Indonesia,
  • 4107.11.80 (Full grain unsplit whole bovine (not buffalo) nesoi and equine leather nesoi, w/o hair, prepared after tanning or crusting, fancy, not 4114) from Argentina,
  • 6802.93.00 (Monumental or building stone & arts. thereof, of granite, further worked than simply cut/sawn, nesoi) from India,
  • 7202.93.80 (Ferroniobium, nesoi) from Brazil.
  1. On U.S. imports, on U.S. industries producing like or directly competitive articles, and on U.S. consumers of the redesignation of an article for one country. The USITC will also provide advice as to whether a like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States in any of the preceding three calendar years for this article. The HTS subheading in consideration is:

4412.31.41 including 4412.31.4150 and 4412.31.4160 (Plywood sheets n/o 6mm thick, with specified tropical wood outer ply, with face ply nesoi, not surface covered beyond clear/transparent) from Indonesia.

  1. Finally, on total U.S. imports, on U.S. industries producing like or directly competitive articles, and on U.S. consumers, of the denial of a de minimis competitive need limitation waiver for one article from a GSP beneficiary country. The USITC will also provide advice as to whether a like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States in any of the preceding three calendar years for this article. The HTS subheading in consideration is:

3802.90.10 (Bone black) from Brazil.

The USITC is seeking input for this investigation from all interested parties and requests that the information focus on the articles for which the USITC is requested to provide information and advice. The USITC will hold a public hearing in connection with the investigation at 9:30 a.m. on June 14, 2018. Requests to appear at the public hearing should be filed no later than 5:15 p.m. on June 4, 2018, with the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.

Gemini Shippers Group joined numerous trade associations  seeking support for a program that would promote the use of U.S. origin materials
incorporated into finished products abroad and returned to the U.S. Specifically, the program would only assess duties on the foreign value added abroad and not on the U.S. origin
materials. This would deduct the value of U.S. origin materials from the dutiable value of a finished good when that good is imported into the United States.

More Than 100 Trade Groups Oppose China Tariff Plans

Business coalition’s latest lobbying effort is a letter addressed to House Ways and Means Committee

By Bob Davis

April 11, 2018 7:02 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON—The business coalition opposing White House plans to levy tariffs against Chinese goods has doubled to 107 trade groups, ranging from such Washington, D.C. heavyweights as the National Retail Federation and the Security Industry Association to such smaller local groups as the San Diego Customs Brokers Association.

The group’s latest lobbying effort is a letter addressed to the chairman and ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee warning that “the impact of a trade war and tariffs would be felt by businesses, workers, farmers, consumers throughout the U.S. and across industry sectors.”

 

The group wants the Trump administration to drop its plans to levy tariffs on as much as $150 billion of imports from China to force Beijing to end what the administration alleges are violations of U.S. intellectual property rights. Instead, the group urged the U.S. to lead an international coalition opposed to Chinese practices that would include “clearly defined objectives, deadlines and immediate negotiations with China.”

 

The administration has said tariffs are necessary to get China to make meaningful change, but it hasn’t publicly stated what actions Beijing could take for the U.S. to drop the tariff threat.

According to the letter, organized by the National Retail Federation, which hosts periodic meetings of the group, tariffs “will not effectively advance our shared goal” of changing objectionable Chinese practices, including forced technology transfers and improper government subsidies. Tariffs, the letter argues, are “hidden, regressive taxes that will be paid by U.S. businesses and consumers in the form of higher product prices.”

The coalition, which was put together about a month ago, has had some success. A mid-March letter from the coalition, then amounting to 45 trade groups, asked the administration not to use tariffs in what was then a brewing fight with China. The administration turned that down. But it did agree to the group’s request that it set up a period for industry to comment on proposed tariffs.

 

That comment period, on the first $50 billion of goods facing tariffs, ends May 22. The United States Trade Representative plans a second round of comments after it publishes “in the near future” a list of an additional $100 billion of Chinese goods that may be hit with tariffs, said a USTR official.

The administration had hoped that U.S. business would back its effort to get China to change its trade behavior. Instead, White House tactics have become the focus of business groups.

The coalition is becoming so broad that the few big groups that aren’t involved stand out. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which signed the first letter, didn’t sign this one. The National Association of Manufacturers didn’t sign either one. Both, though, have clearly opposed tariffs.

The Semiconductor Industry Association hasn’t been a part of either letter and has been milder in its criticism, saying in one statement that it hopes “to work with the administration to avoid tariffs.” The administration has said that it is trying to help defend the interests of semiconductor makers and other high-tech firms.
